Grid Cell Focus Change

[Rob Panosh]

Hello,

In my DataBoundGrid I am trapping the "ModelSaveCellInfo" event to manually save the data from the cell back to the collection associated to my Grid and all is working well. Ok now if I click on a cell and make a change then click on a Button (or any other control) on my form the control in the cell looses focus. What I would like to do is when the control in the grid cell looses focus push the changes from the control back to the associated datasource (collection). I have tried this by trapping "CurrentCellControlLostFocus" but it doesn''t pass the row/column as does the "Mode3lSaveCellInfo" event.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob Panosh

Hi Rob,

try setting CausesValidation = true for the button. This will then trigger a Validate call on the grid which then triggers a SaveCellInfo.

Stephan,

It is a little more complicated then that... My grid is on a tab page and when the user clicks outside the tab page I would like to trigger the SaveCellInfo event. Is there a way to trigger this evnet in the "CurrentCellControlLostFocus" event?

Thanks,
Rob

Try calling grid.CurrentCell.ConfirmChanges from CurrentCellControlLostFocus to see if that does what you need.

Clay,

Thanks that worked. This also works grid.Model.EndEdit(). Should I use one over the other?

Thanks,
Rob

Model.EndEdit checks to see if the grid has a CurrentCell, and if it does, it calls CurrentCell.EndEdit. So, I do not think it matters which you use since you know you have a current cell when the cell control loses focus (I think).
